Constitution Square is a free open-air museum and park devoted to Kentucky at the time it became a state in 1792. This historic property is directly across from McDowell House and many visitors enjoy strolling through the lovely grounds and visiting the cabins, perhaps taking that perfect selfie, having lunch at the picnic tables or using the public restrooms. The Danville Boyle County Visitors Center and Gift Shop is also located on the property, on the corner of Walnut and Second Street.

Guided tours of the property are currently only available to groups who book in advance.
